THE CHICAGO COMMUNICATION.
Ten Thousand in Line in the Parade-At
the Cemei cries.

the Cemeteries.
CHICAGO, May 31-Decoration Day was
more generally Observed in this city than it
has been for many years There was a pa
rade of veterans, militia and civic societies
headed by nearly the entire police depart
ment. About 1900 men were in the line,
which made imposing appearance At an
early hour the veteran organizations visited
the various cemeteries to decorate with flow
ers the graves of departed comrades, which
duty performed they returned to the city to
participate i'll the procession, which was the
largest and most impressive ever held in Chi
cago on Decoration Day.
The Holy Family cadets, fine lot of boys
with strikingly beautiful red, white and blue
uniforms, and the Second regiment boys in
their elegant new uniforms, were striking
features of the parade. But it was the vet
Grams who won the most of the applause
They came in all sorts of uniforms, the bust
ness man in his sack suit or cutaway, the
Grand Army enthusiast in his blue blouse and
brass buttons and the laborer in his Sunday
best Their ranks are dwindling year by year,
no doubt, but there was no perceptible
elimination in their number as compared
Will IlSD year.
At Oakwoods Congressman Mason was the
orator, and in the course of his speech said,
referring TO Jefferson Davis "For him have
nothing but contempt If he shall die I'M
reconstructed. with dsunon on his lips, trea-
son in his heart, so help me God, if | could
prevent it, his reasonable carcass should never
find a resting place on American soil"
At st. Bonifacels cemetery a monument
erected in honor of the German soldiers who
participated in the rebellion, was dedicated
with appropriate ceremony in the presence of
5000 people The Confederate veterans
strewed flowers OH the graves of the dead at
misunderstanding the Confederate and
Union graves alike.
All over the northwest and west the day
was appropriately observed, and the fact was
made evident that "age does not wither nor
custom stale, the gratitude of the nation to
the boys in blue, nor the love the people have
for the annual memorial to their bravery and
self-sacritice in the cause of their country.

Teeth are Just as easily starved as the stom-
ach, said "A lecturer the other night The fact
is that You and your fathers have from gen
Grafton 10 generation been indrstIiously
starving your teeth. In one way it is bless
ing to have been born Of poor parents What
food the poor give their children is of va
riety that goes to make strong bones and teeth.
1t is the outside of all the grains of all cereal
food that contains the carbonate and phos-
phate of lime, and traces of other earthly salts,
which nourish the bony tissues and build the
frame up. If we do not furnish to the teeth
of the young that Pabulum they require, they
cannot possibly be built up. 1t is the outside
of corn, oats, wheat, harley and the like or
the bran, so called, that we sift away and
feed to the swine that the teeth actually re-
quire for their proper nourishment. The wis
dom of man has proven his folly, shown in
every succeeding generation Of teeth, which
become more and more fragile and weak

Tommy Warren Gets Away with Danforth
Mitchell and Kilrsin.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, May 31-The much
talked-of match between the two feather
weights, Danforth and Warren, came off at
the Washington rink Monday evening. The
immense building was pretty well packed, at
least GOO being present. The match was
for $3.50 and the usual division of the gate re-
ceipts. The conditions were fifteen rounds,
two-ounce gloves and Queensbury rules
When the men put up their hands the con-
trast was greatly in favor of Warren, al
though Danforth was the biggest
On getting to work for the first three rounds
nothing was done save that Warren landed a
singing left-hander in Danforth's face, who
got Highlander in Warren's bread basket
The fourth and seventh were critical rounds,
the men fighting hard all over the stage. In
the tenth Warren forced Danforth into his
corner, mailing him in the face and head with
both hands twice in succession, right and left
with wonderful quickness and precision,
finally fighting his opponent to stand still.
In the eleventh Danforth made despairing
effort, but was badly punished. In the twelfth
left handler in the jaw knocked him down as
time was called He responded to call for
the thirteenth but another ft-hander, put
him to sleep.

Wills Him to Be a Widower.

Something of novelty in the way of wills
came up in the surrogates court in Kingston.
The will in question was made by married
woman. She devised the property to her hus-
band during life in case he 'remained unmar-
RED" Men often execute wills making a
devise of property to their wives subject to
the conditions that they shall remain I'M
married, but women usually give their prop
erty without any attempt at hampering their
husbands affections in the future The will
shows something of change in the orthodox
of phraseology of wills of wives in devising
their estates, and tends to show that women
are becoming more independent in their ideas
and more fully aware of their rights regard
